I’m Brian, and hosting is something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent many years working in real estate and hospitality, and Magnolia Portside is a reflection of the care I put into creating comfortable, memorable spaces. I love helping guests experience Newport the way locals do, through its incredible restaurants, waterfront views, scenic drives, beaches, parks, and year-round events. I’m passionate about travel, design, great coffee, and discovering hidden gems around town, so I’m always happy to share recommendations. As a host, I take pride in responsiveness, cleanliness, and the small details that make a stay feel effortless. Whether you’re visiting for a quick weekend or a longer escape, my goal is to provide a smooth, welcoming experience from start to finish and help you enjoy everything that makes Newport special.
